Current Events > The LEGO The Hobbit video game doesn't contain the third movie.

(+) Yeah! (+)

What the fuck is this crap? How greedy for money to put in your butthole do you have to be that you can't wait a year to make the game before the final film comes out?

My will to keep playing has dropped to near zero and I was enjoying it so far >_>

They were gonna release it as DLC but it got cancelled

Is it four hours of walking just like movies

My original point stands.

U could wait a fucking year, jesus christ.

Yeah it's pretty dumb

They didn't even need to wait for the movie to come out - Lego Pirates of the Caribbean had the 4th film in it before its respective movie was released

Where is the TMNT Lego game?!!?

Maybe that's why LEGO Pirates was the worst LEGO [franchise] game since LEGO Batman 1.

TMNT moved to megabloks, years ago.

It's a weird situation.

You know how The Hobbit was supposed to be two movies? By the time the LEGO Hobbit game came out, the second (and final) movie would've been out.

So my guess is that the LEGO Hobbit game was always scheduled to come out that year, and we all know the decision to make three Hobbit movies was a pretty late one, so maybe for whatever reason, Travelers Tales couldn't push back the game for another year.

But then the only thing that contradicts that, is all that stuff with battling Smaug at the end of Desolation was actually added in fairly last minute (because they needed a climax for the second movie now that it was the second movie), but that's all in the LEGO Hobbit game.

What I want to know is: did they ever actually create content for what became The Battle of the Five Armies and withheld it for eventual DLC? There's got to be some interesting behind-the-scenes stuff here.

Wait so does the Hobbit Game just end the way the second movie ends? With Smaug flying to the town?

Chances are quite good it got buried in the obvious rush to ship Lego Movie Game, and ended up abandoned after an arbitrary DLC-window had passed.
